Amigurumi's Next Top Model Update

We've had a lot of different votes for my next amigurumi model, but so far, no clear winner. So, I thought I would re-post the suggestions to you in a poll.

The options are:

Giraffe

Panda

Platypus

Ostrich

Duck

Tiger

Hippo

Use the poll on the right to cast your votes. You can vote for more than one animal and the critter with the most votes at the end of the day, September 6 (my birthday) will be our winner.

Also, if you like the cute stickers I used to decorate this entry, have a look at the Etsy shop I recently discovered. It's called From Japan With Love and they carry stickers, letter sets, stamps, gifts, and more -- all super cute!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
